Many tourists who are going on vacation to Egypt cannot immediately decide on the choice of the coast, because this country is washed by two seas: from the northern part of the Mediterranean, and from the east - the Red.
Instructions
Step 1
Between Asia and Africa lies the stunning beauty and wealth of the Red Sea. On the southern side, it borders the Indian Ocean, but on the northern waters of the Red Sea they wash the Sinai Peninsula. In addition, the sea is surrounded by large desert plains on the north side, and high mountains on the south.
Step 2
Until today, it is not known exactly why the Red Sea has such a name. Some attribute this to the hot climate of the area, while others believe that the presence of algae in the water can change the color of the water from blue to red. But be that as it may, the water here is very clean and gentle.
Step 3
The hot climate of Egypt affects the strong evaporation of the reservoir, its density is quite high due to the content of a large amount of salt, which is why it is easy and comfortable to swim in the Red Sea.
Step 4
The fauna of the underwater world in these places is ready to surprise any tourist. That is why diving enthusiasts from all over the world come here to dive. The Red Sea is suitable for both beginner divers and professionals who sometimes hunt for unique corals found only on the local reefs. By the way, according to the law of the country, it is strictly forbidden to take anything out of the waters of the sea, and even more so to catch its inhabitants or break off corals.
Step 5
It should not be forgotten that Egypt is also washed by the Mediterranean Sea, which stretches between Eurasia and Africa. Its waters are pleasantly warm and calm. Four rivers flow into the Mediterranean Sea - the Ebro, Rona, Nile and Po. As for the climate, in this area it is quite mild, the winter period is cool, but short, but the summer here is sunny, hot and dry. The average water surface temperature in this sea is 21 ° C.
Step 6
There are not so many Egyptian resorts located on the Mediterranean coast as on the shores of the Red Sea, but this does not prevent them from being very popular among travelers.
